              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: N.Ule
First observer noted that the pointing could be off up to as much as 20-30"
to the southwest.  Pointing was not always off by this much, also depended
on what part of the sky the telescope was pointing.
The second observer could not log in to Newton using the Q3 password.  It
seems that Newton is still responding to the Q2 passwords and is not
recognizing the newer ones.
Had to delay covering up cloud-cam because of bear.
